It's probably obvious, but one thing that works well with teaching students any concept is to vary up the method of delivery. The more you can approach the same concept from multiple angles, the more engaged the students will be, and engagement translates to focus and mastery. This is true in teaching anything.
I try to use this in working with my son at home, as well. After he went back to daycare, I continued to work on Chinese with him everyday. I find that it helps both me and him to have a variety of ideas for review, so here are some that we use:
We are now up to 70 learned characters, and he really does recognize them all! It's very exciting. I know that he still needs to ramp up on different fonts, but I feel like that is easier to teach than teaching a character from scratch? Our daily practice has also made a difference in his pronunciation and oral vocabulary. I look forward to him being able to independently read simple Chinese books some day!
